Cannot paste into safari address bar!

I am not sure what changed, but if I copy text in an iOS app and then go to safari to paste it in the empty address bar, I do not get a “paste” option; only “scan text”. Has something changed, or am I doing something wrong?

Hello The_janitor,


We understand that you're looking to use copy paste on your iPhone. If "Scan Text" is the only option that appears then text wasn't properly copied from its source. This should help clarify any issues: Select, cut, copy, and paste text on iPhone


Regards.
